        !            16: putes an  index of peculiarity for each word  in the document.  A
        !            17: high index indicates a word less like other words in the document

        !            24: output,  typo compares  each word against  a small  dictionary of
        !            25: technical words and discards it if found.  The output consists of
        !            26: a list  of unique non-dictionary  words with associated  index of
        !            27: peculiarity, most  peculiar first.  An index  higher than ten in-
        !            28: dicates that  the word almost  certainly occurs only  once in the
